Air Fryer Chicken Thigh Schnitzel

I find chicken thighs to be more flavorful than chicken breasts, and this schnitzel is a perfect example. Not only is it delicious, it is also cooked in the air fryer, making it lower in calories, oil free, and grease free.

Directions for Air Fryer Chicken Thigh Schnitzel

  • Place chicken thighs, 1 at a time, between 2 sheets of parchment paper and flatten with a mallet.
